Zogby has Obama's 12 point lead of a week ago down to 5

UTICA, New York – Republican John McCain continues to gain on Democrat Barack Obama, reducing Obama’s lead to 5.3 points with just over a week to go before Election Day, the latest Reuters/C–SPAN/Zogby national daily tracking poll shows.

The race now stands at 49.4% to 44.1% in favor of Obama. Obama led McCain by 9.5 points in yesterday’s report.

Charles- I disagree.

Rove is not able to bellyfeel the McCain majority. It is fundamentally different than the coalitions he put together in in 2000 and 04. IN addition, stir in a whole bunch of PUMAs in key blue states who have been lying their asses off to pollsters regarding their vote and things look much better than they seem.

McCain will get more Jewish votes in PA and FL than any Republican in US history. That is a huge help. Obama's numbers are not as deep as they look.

Believe in the victory.

It's hard to be optimistic about McCain's chances...its not impossible but he has to win EVERY battleground state pretty much. Obama only has to win a couple. Its not impossible but it doesn't look great.

Karl Rove is becoming a Beltway Boy and Fox is putting out the bad vibe so as to appear fair and balanced. McCain is going to win.

Georgia update--great weekend!

Went to the county courthouse on Saturday thinking I would vote...the line was out the door and around the block so I decided to wait 'til election day. Went to the next county to get McCain/Palin yard signs.

1. Does anyone REALLY believe that Obama will win the white working class vote in states like PA & Ohio - when he got blown-out by Hillary in these primaries with those demographics?

2. Obama almost always overpolled in the primaries

3. There will be a lot of Dems crossing over for McCain . . . while Dems may be ahead in the early voting, I really don't think all of them are voting Obama, do you?

4. Obama is not going to get a lot of Republicans crossing over to vote for him.

Let's see what Nov 4th brings. In the meantime, get out & vote . . . and get your friends to do the same, if they are voting McCain

Palin: Obama acts as if he's already won election

"Barack Obama and I both have spent quite some time on the basketball court," Palin told a raucous crowd of more than 5,000 at the convention center. "But where I come from, you have to win the game before you start cutting down the net."

"You kinda get the feeling that the Obama campaign thinks this whole election process is just a formality," she said. "They've overlooked, though, the minor detail of earning your confidence and your trust and winning your vote.

"And judging from the media coverage, it does seem the coronation is already set," Palin said.

She's good energy.

I think with this Biden Interview that blew up in Biden's face, and with SNL starting with Mad Jack (The Jungle Quack) Murtha's comments, the teeter-totter may start tipping the other way.

Besides, I can't honestly believe that if Joe the Plumber being smart enough to realize that Obama is just giving handouts (I base this statement based on Sam W's on-the-spot direct question to Senator Obama, and also based on Sam W's reaction to Senator Obama's "spread the wealth around" comment.......NOT on the post media hype of this exchange), that if Joe the Plumber AMERICA can figure this out....that:

Obama will have a November surprise.

I think the thinking behind voting early is that of course once you vote early you can't change your mind lol

I think I've seen McCain at least mention voting early, I don't think its a talking piont like with Obama.

If you have not seen this vid, go see it. Share it with everyone you know.

McCain gave the speech of his lifetime in Durango CO.

It just ROCKS!

Hey Rose. A lot of Democrats traditionally don't show up on election day. Most say that they had to work and the students just pull a no-show. The more they can get to vote early the better chance they have of winning.

Comcast has been locking me out of LGF all week so I haven't been able to raise a major stink over the ridiculous dog and pony show Alan Greenspan enthusiastically participated in this week.

"Testifying" before all the usual suspects -- Dodd, Waxman, et al. -- and the television cameras, Greenspan launched an audacious attack on the foundations of the American financial system that managed to at once deep-six the world's financial markets overnight while at the same time brutalize the average Joe's faith in the American way. All of it in a manner that dovetailed perfectly with Barack Obama's talking points.

It was quite a performance. It produced headlines like this that bolster Obama's candidacy:

Greenspan Admits Free Market Ideology Flawed

[Link: www.npr.org...]

and coverage like this that decisively tanked the world's market over night to Friday morning:

[Link: www.startribune.com...]

"We are in the midst of a once-in-a century credit tsunami. Central banks and governments are being required to take unprecedented measures."

"I cannot see how we can avoid a significant rise in layoffs and unemployment."

Greenspan has not right to say this ten days before a presidential election. He knows the markets hang on his words. Greenspan has no right to bad mouth market economics. He knows there is nothing else -- except barrel-of-a-gun economics.

Greenspan is obviously campaigning for Obama.

I think Greenspan is pussy whipped.

He's urging people to vote early because any vote that's been cast is "in the bank". Doesn't depend on whether the voter has the flu, gets a flat tire, has an out-of-town unanticipated business trip or whatever. Also, all votes that are out of the way simplify GOTV efforts on Election Day.

All's well here, goddess...glad you could make it.

I stopped at my mother's house yesterday. (Took her shopping for the day.) When we came back she listened to her answering machine, and there were 2 messages, one from Obama campaign, one from McCain's.

The Obama message was a personal one (not a recording) by a woman with a very pleasant voice...It had that personal touch - (kind of like getting a real letter, not a form letter that you just toss out).

The McCain message was a recording, a male voice (and unfortunately, not even a nice pleasant voice).

My mother - an undecided (I'm working hard on her though!) listened to the Obama message in its entirety, but immediately deleted that robot voice!

Reporter Adam Schefter said he had spoken to a 49ers official who said that was a possibility. Rice went to Stanford, she is friendly with former 49ers receiver and current league director of football operations Gene Washington and she's expressed interest in joining the league in some capacity. But how would she be welcomed in San Francisco? Her politics don't exactly scream "Bay Area." The prospect of Rice joining the 49ers got a chilly reception from show co-hosts Marshall Faulk and Warren Sapp, and I imagine it would get a similar response from most 49ers fans.

re: #26 Soona'

First and foremost I'm going to be voting a straight Republican ticket. Obama isn't inevitable. We can still win, and it is every freedom-loving America's duty to try and keep Obama out of Office. If Obama wins, I'm going to be calling and writing my State's two Senators and my Congressman to encourage them to oppose Obama vigorously. The Republicans were too easy on Bill Clinton, especially in letting him appoint Supreme Court judges. Ginsburg should have never been allowed on the bench.

Likewise, I'll encourage the Leadership of the Republican Party to oppose Obama, and my State representatives and senators to Oppose Obama's agenda.

One thing that I'm not going to do is take to the streets in violent protest. Now is not the time nor the place to do so. OTOH, if the Dems riot in my area, I will defend my family and property win whatever force is necessary. Given where I live, though, I really don't expect that to happen. There may very well be riots in places like Chicago and Atlanta, and I'll support the troops that deal with that.

I don't expect, in the short term, that I'll have to use force for anything. We're not that far gone yet. I will closely monitor the Obama Administration, and adjust my positions based on the facts as the situation unfolds. What I'm not going to do is just sit at home and whine about the direction of the Country. We can, thank God, change our country through the voting booth and other non-violent actions.

If we all work together, it will be possible to minimize the damage Obama does in his first term.. If we just sit around crying, and allow the Democrats to run rough-shod over us, things will get very unpleasant. The past couple of years, the Republicans have acted like they are powerless against the machinations of Blinky and Reid. They have to do better. And it is our duty to hold their feet to the fire.

Yes, it does. They caused the crisis, and now they have to nerve to use it to their political advantage. Every time it looks like the markets are going to get their footing, out comes the Washington establishment with another dictum which seems designed to cast doubt over the value of things. Traders need to know what things are worth so they can do their job. If Washington just keeps clouding the issue then traders have no alternative than to sell and/or go short until the prices find a footing. The president seems to have been made aware of this because he was extrememely cautious in even even getting up a good pep talk the other day -- assuring everyone he is not proposing anything new.

But leave it to Congress to blow smoke up everyone's ass when it is to their political advantage.

re: #104 buzzdroid

My 2 cents - it would have been better if no one knew and it weren't in the press.

All right..

I think you have to temper the Donk vote being reported in some early voting with the thought that many of those Donk votes were actually Rush's Repubs who crossed over, changed their registrations so that they could vote for Hillary in the primary in order to cause chaos in the primaries. McCain votes are much higher than you might think.

re: #81 gmsc

It is good. There are many like it out there but this one is a good one.

If you think things are bad here in the U.S. due to the sub-prime mess, read this article about the European currency crisis.

Stephen Jen, currency chief at Morgan Stanley, says the emerging market crash is a vastly underestimated risk. It threatens to become “the second epicentre of the global financial crisis”, this time unfolding in Europe rather than America.

Austria’s bank exposure to emerging markets is equal to 85pc of GDP – with a heavy concentration in Hungary, Ukraine, and Serbia – all now queuing up (with Belarus) for rescue packages from the International Monetary Fund.

Exposure is 50pc of GDP for Switzerland, 25pc for Sweden, 24pc for the UK, and 23pc for Spain. The US figure is just 4pc. America is the staid old lady in this drama.

McCain Raises the Spectre of a Multi-headed Reid-Pelosi-Obama Hydra Controlling Washington, DC

It's fairly long so here are some snips:

Speaking at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Albuquerque on Saturday morning, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., raised the prospect of Democrats controlling the White House, the Senate, and the House.

"Senator Obama is measuring the drapes and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending and concede defeat in Iraq," McCain said.

Independents, by 43-34 percent in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll, say divided government is the better way to go.
And it's why you hear Republicans seize upon remarks like those made by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., chair of the House Financial Services Committee, who told a local Massachusetts newspaper that in addition to a second economic stimulus package he'd like to see Congress enact a 25 percent cut in military spending.

Frank doesn't control the pursestrings of the Pentagon budget, but the underlying argument is that America is about to turn over control to a bunch of liberal Democrats.

I don't berlieve that all of the pollsters are in collusion to elect Barry, like the MSM.

Bitter infighting over 'diva' Palin in McCain campaign: report
[Link: afp.google.com...]

WATERLOO, Iowa (AFP) — Bitter infighting between aides to John McCain and Sarah Palin erupted into public view in a sign of tension gripping the Republican camp with the election 10 days away.

It's shaping up to a major push..

I live just outside of SF, and am wondering what the hell will happen here in the event McCain pulls it off on November 4th. In the wake of the 2004 elections, there was serious talk of the coastal California counties actually separating from the US and declaring themselves some sort of rump republic a la the former Yugoslav states. G-d only knows what might be in store this time around.

Hi All,
I dont know if this has been posted yet, but, just in case, you all will remember a couple of days ago when O'Reilly's camera crew caught up with Ayers? Well, in an unspeakably ironic twist, the terrorist who tried to kill police officers, and probably succeeded, had the BALLS to call the police.

Israeli Tzipi Livni has failed to form a coalition and has called for Israeli general elections in Feb/09. Won't this make it all but impossible for Israel to attack Iran's nukes before Obama's inauguration, if Zero wins?

Have you all seen this thread?
I've been participating on it today but the responses are coming in so heavily that it's hard to keep up.

Barack Obama accidentally exposed his hand when he answered Joe the Plumbers' question, and it's resonating in a powerful way with ordinary Americans all across the nation.

Read through some of the comments on this thread... the Obama camps' effort to shut down anyone in the media that doesn't agree with them is backfiring, big time. People are clearly beginning to wake up, even former Obama supporters who are seeing things clearly for the very first time, and they are OUTRAGED.

The Obama camp is running scared. They've completely lost their ability to control the information about BOs' "associations" and his socialist agenda, and the campaign is bleeding like a stuck pig. The API tapes are due to be released any day now and when they're released, the shit is going to hit the fan with only a few days left in the election cycle.

The Obama bus is careening out of control, and heading straight towards a cliff.... they know it and they're scared as hell, scrambling to shut people down, shut people up and supress anyone who asks the tough questions before election day using every means at their disposal to do so.

The train has left the station, and they know full well now that they're not going to be able to stop it. It's all going to blow up in their collective faces over the next few days, and THIS is why they are "urging", their supporters in Denver and elsewhere to cast their votes for Barack Obama "early".

The stench of fear from camp Obama is overwhelming.
We're winning, folks... the tide has turned.

re: #133 buzzsawmonkey

The more they can get to vote now--with insufficient checking of fraudulent registrations, as has occurred in Ohio, for one--the more they can get to vote again on Election day, under their own names or under other false registrations.

And the more they can build up a reserve of pre-stolen votes to be tapped on as needed.

Most dems I've worked with over the years find an excuse for not voting. Remember the 2000 and 2004 MTV "Rock The Vote" campaigns...the youth was suppose to be the difference in both elections...it didn't pan out in either.

I've been getting a bunch of emails from readers at Governor Palin's rally in Florida, which appears to be of zero interest to the press:

I went to the Palin rally in Tampa this morning. Tons of people there - (? 15-20k?)
But I was interested to look at the media pen after reading your previous post. I don't know what to compare it to - and it is Sunday - but as you had alluded to before it was a ghost town. There were many tables set up for media to sit with their laptops, etc.... I saw two laptops and one other guy with a blackberry. Other than that there may have been one or two photographers there...... that's it.

Hasselbeck was great and she started out by saying how nice it was for her to get to talk for 5 min without being interrupted!

Oliver Stone's "W" is tanking. Awwwwwwwww....I thought there were so many Dems out there in American who would help make it a blockbuster. lol!

There's been tremendous interest by the public in the box office fate of Oliver Stone's W. for its second weekend in release. Well, it ran out of steam. QED International/Lionsgate's Bush biopic sank 58% to No. 7 with a $5.3M weekend from 2,050 dates and new cume of $18.7M. The $30M negative cost film should end up with $23M domestic box office gross by the end of its North American run. That means, with a $25M P&A investment and Lionsgate's distribution fees, the film won't recoup.

Note to self: ask 'Just My View' if he/she spent money to see the movie.

I really, Really, REALLY believe that BHO will be our next President. Although I am working for the McCain/Palin campaign (and I hope that Palin will become a loyal opposition force post-election) I truly believe that BHO will win in a substantial non-disputable election.

Does that make me satisfied.....F*ck no! To me it means the end of what it means to be American. But it seems to be the way the trade winds are blowing. And whatever "mandate" or "momentum" BHO gets from the election MUST be challenged by the loyal opposition. Or we lose America, we lose what the brilliant Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Paine, et. al carved out for out brave new world. It is the challenge of OUR generation - socialism or capitalism and with it, democracy. That's how I see things, IMHO.

I don't berlieve that all of the pollsters are in collusion to elect Barry, like the MSM.
What may be happening is that a lot of McCain supporters are refusing to participate, because they do not want to appear racist, for not supporting Obama.

I have been tracking a lot of the MSM stories and polls. The New Yorker magazine has already declared BHO the winner. And, the MSM continues to skew their stories all the way to the bitter end (ie., this absurd story of Palin being a diva - incredibly sexist and untrue).

So I am taking this time to make a PSA: Please do not give in to fears or doubts. Just fight and fight some more. And do not believe everything you read. The MSM is invested in BHO's victory the way they were invested in the defeat of our troops in Iraq. More significantly, no one knows what will happen. There are many persons who will never vote for BHO who are not being polled. From the core support to the PUMA's, Vets, Disabled/Special Needs, Elderly-(which could be BIG), independants who fear socialism, to just men who like Sarah for, well, I will leave it at that, there are many reasons to be optimistic. Karl Rove is a smart guy but this election presents variables he has never seen before, (a black & a woman) among other demographics.

Lastly, if you have to whine, save it for after the election. If we win, life is good and no one is going to say I told you so...(well, maybe I will) but if the opposite occurs, you can cry in your beer then. We are at the end now, the last days are crucial so let us be unified and win this thing because it is winnable and that is not pie-in-the-sky!

re: #200 Hobbes

Yeah, if he does I hope you're right. I'm afraid though, in my paranoid state,
he'll have enough power to stifle any competition! He's done it before and with even MORE power he'll again clear the playing field.

I have to agree with you. It's Barry's MO to destroy or eliminate any competition as he did in his days in Chicago. By then the "Fairness Doctrine" will be in place and the MSM will have a monopoly on information that's going to be unimaginable by today's standards.

re: #216 gmsc

Now, the classic question: What was Harry S Truman's middle name?

It's "S". I knew that it didn't stand for anything, but looked it up to be sure and found this interesting tidbit re how he came to have an initial as his middle name.

Truman was born on May 8, 1884 in Lamar, Missouri, the second child of John Anderson Truman (1851-1914) and Martha Ellen Young Truman (1852-1947). His parents chose the name Harry after his mother's brother, Harrison Young (1846-1916), Harry's uncle.[5] His parents chose "S" as his middle name, in attempt to please both of Harry's grandfathers, Anderson Shippe Truman and Solomon Young; the initial did not actually stand for anything, as was a common practice among Scots-Irish.[6][7] A brother, John Vivian (1886–1965), soon followed, along with sister Mary Jane Truman (1889–1978).

re: #222 opnion

There is no middle name. It is just S

It can't be both!

re: #228 abolitionist

Techumpse ?

Close enough, Tecumseh. He was given the name William later in life by his foster mother.

re: #225 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Another trivia question; What was General Sherman's given name?

Wiki is wonderful!

S

herman's unusual given name has attracted considerable attention. Since 1932, it has often been reported that, as an infant, Sherman was named simply Tecumseh. According to these accounts, Sherman acquired the name "William" at age nine or ten, after being taken into the Ewing household. His foster mother, Maria Ewing, who was of Irish ancestry, was a devout Catholic. In the Ewing home, Sherman was baptized by a Dominican priest who supposedly used the name William because the event took place on a Saint William's Day – possibly June 25, the feast day of Saint William of Montevergine. However, this colorful account is dubious. Sherman himself states in his Memoirs that his father named him William Tecumseh, and there is corroborating evidence that Sherman was baptized by a Presbyterian minister as an infant and given the name William at that time. As an adult, Sherman signed all his correspondence (even to his wife) "W.T. Sherman," but his friends and family always called him "Cump." Despite having been baptized twice in his youth, Sherman did not adhere to any organized religion for much of his adult life.

And now, under the heading, What Media Bias? here's an unbe-fucking-lievable story from today's Denver Post. The second paragraph in the story:

In Republican-leaning Douglas County, it's easy to assume this Franktown retiree — with his steel-gray hair, plaid flannel jacket and denim jeans — might be less than thrilled at the prospect of a black Democrat as president.

Get that? If you're a Republican, you're probably a RACIST; if you live in Douglas County, you're probably a RACIST; if you're an old white guy, you're probably a RACIST; if you wear flannel and denim jeans, you're probably a RACIST.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Here's a tough one: How many US President's names can you find among the signers of the Declaration of Independence?

re: #238 musicman

Ok, my turn...
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Some say it depends on three factors:
• The woodchuck's desire to chuck said wood.
• The woodchuck's need to chuck the aforementioned wood.
• The woodchuck's ability to chuck the wood.

Using the formula: (W + I) * C where W = the constant of wood, which is well known to be 61, as agreed in many scientific circles. I = the variable in this equation, and stands for the word "if" from the original problem. As there are three circumstances, with 0 equaling the chance that the woodchuck cannot chuck wood, 1 being the theory that the woodchuck can chuck wood but chooses not to, and 2 standing for the probability that the woodchuck can and will chuck wood, we clearly must choose 2 for use in this equation. C = the constant of Chuck Norris, whose presence in any problem involving the word chuck must there, is well known to equal 1.1 of any known being, therefore the final part of this calculation is 1.1. As is clear, this appears to give the answer of (61 + 2) * 1.1 = (63) * 1.1 = 69.3. However, Chuck Norris' awesome roundhouse kick declares that all decimal points cannot be used in formulas such as this, and so it must be rounded to the final solution of 69 units of wood.

From your link:
"Artist Julie Golden, shown in her Boulder studio, says she grew up in a bigoted town in northern California where racist feelings were ingrained from childhood. It was Sen. Barack Obama's candidacy that proved her turning point, she says. "I never saw him as black or biracial."

Blech. Keep congratulating yourself on being a better human being than everyone else in your 'bigoted' hometown, Julie.

re: #247 gmsc

My bad-took a wild guess

re: #243 gmsc
or some other thoughts...
* He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
* If he could chuck wood, the woodchuck would chuck as much as he could!
* A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
* A woodchuck would chuck all the wood that the woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
* If a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would and should chuck wood. But if woodchucks can't chuck wood, they shouldn't and wouldn't chuck wood. Though were I a woodchuck, and I chucked wood, I would chuck wood with the best woodchucks that chucked wood.
* If a woodchuck could chuck wood, then s/he'd chuck all the wood, s/he'd chuck and chuck and chuck and chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
* It would chuck the amount of wood that she sells seashells on the seashore divided by how many pickles Peter Piper picks.
* One quarter of a sycamore if you give him a quarter for every quarter of the sycamore he cut.
* It might depend on how many female woodchucks were present. Or, it could depend on whether the woodchuck's mother-in-law was around or not. If she was, he'd be chucking all day. If not, he'd be watching the football game.
* Some maintain that woodchucks could not and would not chuck wood at all.
* It depends on how good his dentures are!
* A woodchuck, would chuck, as much wood, as a woodchuck, could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood. But unfortunately, woodchucks do not chuck wood.
* About 5.72 fluid litres of wood
* About as many boards as the Mongol hoards would hoard if the Mongol hordes did hoard boards.
* Um....... 23?
* Tons. More than you can count. Honestly. No one can chuck more would than a woodchuck.
* If the woodchucks name was Maurice, then it could chuck all the wood that it wants to. However, if its name is Frank, no chucking would be for it.
* Due to the average size of a wood chuck and the general density of wood (not including cork) if a wood chuck could chuck wood it would probably get through about 6.573 pounds per day, assuming the wood chuck is functioning correctly.

He got it! I asked how many President's names were among the Declaration signers.

The Benjamin Harrison who signed the Delcaration of Indpendence was not the same one who became president in the late 19th century (although that would've been interesting). The Declaration-signing Harrison was, however, the great grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, and the father of William Henry Harrison, the famed 30-day president.
